Product description

Honduras SHG coffee beans grow in the unique microclimate of the mountainous Intibuca region. The cool air and stable weather conditions at an altitude of 1,100–1,300 metres above sea level are conducive to the slow ripening of coffee cherries, which translates into a complex aromatic profile. Careful selection during harvesting (from December to March) and classic washed processing result in a raw material of exceptional purity. At the Quba Caffe roastery, the roasting process has been precisely tailored to the hard structure of SHG beans. The light roast does not dominate the bean, but emphasises its terroir, bringing out a balanced acidity and a light, fruity sweetness. This is a coffee with an elegant, smooth body that delights with its clarity in every cup.
